Murder On The Orient ExpressEdebiyat
Murder on the Orient Express is a work of detective fiction by English writer Agatha Christie featuring the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. Its Turkish name is Doğu Ekspresinde Cinayet. The writer began to write this novel in Istanbul Pera Palace Hotel. In that hotel, her room is not rented as she used that room to write this detective fiction. The opening chapters of the novel take place primarily in Istanbul. The Orient Express is stopped by heavy snowfall. Hercule Poirot gets telegram and he is also on the way back to London. Ratchett has been receiving death threats; recognizing Poirot, he tries to hire him for protection. Poirot, repulsed by Ratchett, refuses. Poirot is a friend of Mr. Bouc who is the owner of the train. The next morning, with the train still stalled, Bouc informs Poirot that Ratchett has been murdered and the murderer is still aboard, having no way to escape in the snow. As there are no police onboard, Poirot takes up the case. There are some clues and he investigates it among 12 people. The body has twelve stab wounds, the window had been left open, a handkerchief with the initial "H", a pipe cleaner, a flat match different from the ones Ratchett used, and a charred piece of paper with "member little Daisy Armstrong" written on it. While he is searching for the murderer we learn new things and Poirot prepares some traps for them. We learn that the victim's real name is Cassetti who killed some family members and we try to interrogate the meaning of justice. I won't tell about the killer. We guess and wonder about the murderer but the writer throws us a curve. The author has many artifacts about detective fictions. We have Ahmet Ümit who is also good at detective novel. There are some movies about this novel and I am going to watch the latest one. I began to read this novel in another city and finished in İstanbul.
The book was written in 1933. It was first published in the United Kingdom on 1 January 1934. The movie versions date back to 1974 and 2017. I was really curious about the murderer and I was suspicious about 12 people and I tried to find among them. I think you will also try to guess and this makes you read the book asap.
